I'm sorry but you are totally wrong. Military personnel may, acting on their own, may be at times guilty of murder. But acting under the authority of their government, they are not guilty of murder at all. A military person is under authority, the ones who are accountable are those who send them, i.e., the government. As noted by JJ this doctrine is contrary to the legal doctrine that saw Nazis and others pay for their war crimes and crimes against humanity.It is also contrary to biblical maxim formed from the oft quoted: "Then Peter and the other apostles answered and said, We ought to obey God rather than men." Christians are also men under authority, and the greatest authority is God. Accordingly I find your comment very offensive and a repudiation of your office. Edit: And now you are advocating one standard for assessing the actions of defeated Germans (not all of whom were Nazis obviously) and another for Americans. This is the sin of partiality. |
